The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States and the State Transportation Agencies:

Pursuant to section 9503 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, title 23, United
States Code, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century and the delegation
of authority from the Secretary of Transportation to the Federal Highway Administrator
in section 1.48, title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, I certify--

First, that the Secretary of the Treasury has made the estimate required by
section 9503(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and based on that estimate,
I have determined that the amount which can be apportioned for projects on the
National Highway System for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999 is $4,748,523,000
which is 100 percent of the amount authorized to be appropriated for the National
Highway System for that fiscal year pursuant to section 1101(a)(2) of the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21st Century.

Second, that in compliance with section 104(a) of title 23, United States
Code, I have estimated that it will be necessary for administering the provisions
of title 23, United States Code, to deduct 1.50 percent from the amount authorized
to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999 for the National
Highway System, and I have deducted said 1.50 percent from the sum of $4,748,523,000
authorized to be appropriated for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1999
by section 1101(a)(2) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century.

Third, that in compliance with section 1103(e) of the Transportation Equity
Act for the 21st Century, and after making the deduction authorized by section
104(a) of title 23, United States Code, I have deducted one percent of the sums
remaining from the authorization of $4,748,523,000 for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1999 for the purpose of carrying out section 134 of title 23, United States Code.

Fourth, that in compliance with section 104(b)(1) of title 23, United States
Code, and after making the deductions authorized by sections 104(a) and 104(f)(1)
of title 23, United States Code, I have set aside $36,400,000 of the sums remaining
from the authorization of $4,748,523,000 for the fiscal year ending September
30, 1999 for the National Highway System for the Virgin Islands, Guam, American
Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and $18,800,000
of the sums remaining from the authorization of $3,427,341,000 for fiscal year
ending September 30, 1999 for the purposed of carrying out section 104(b)(1)
of title 23, United States Code, relating to the Alaska Highway.

Fifth, that after making the deductions and set asides, I have computed the
apportionment among the several States, and the District of Columbia of the
remainder of the amounts authorized to be appropriated for the National Highway
System in the manner provided by law in accordance with the formula in section
104(b)(1) of title 23, United States Code.
